UQUAPS 2016 Pitching Research competition
About UQUAPS 2016 Pitching Research competition
Overview
The UQ Association of Postgraduate Students (UQAPS) Pitching Research competition is an opportunity for UQ students to develop a pitch for their research using Professor Robert Faff’s “Pitching Research” template guide, available on the Pitch My Research website.
The template has been designed as a simple and methodological tool to help novice researchers to refine their research question and prepare an engaging proposal for potential mentors and collaborators. It aims to assist students to produce a well-rounded, effective and achievable research project by providing a simple mechanism for communicating a new idea and starting a conversation with a potential research mentor.
Shortlisted finalists will pitch their research to a technical panel and have the chance to win up to $5,000 funding towards their research.
Eligibility
All pre-confirmation research students enrolled at UQ.
Funding
Winner stands to win a prize of up to $5,000 (minimum $3,000) towards their research.
